More than 140 Barbadians turned out last week for an information session on employment opportunities with Disney Cruise Line, signalling strong interest in overseas job prospects as Government agencies continue to expand pathways to work abroad.
The session, hosted by the Ministry of Labour through the Barbados Employment and Career Counselling Service (BECCS) in collaboration with Meridian Recruitment Agency, drew a mix of unemployed individuals and working professionals seeking better opportunities. While 187 people had registered in advance, about 140 attended the in-person briefing at the Warrens Office Complex, St Michael.
Acting director of BECCS, Moreen Bowen, said the initiative formed part of the agency’s broader strategy to connect Barbadians with viable employment both locally and internationally.
“The purpose of today’s session is to ensure Barbadians who are interested in working on cruise lines are made aware of the requirements, what life is like and what vacancies are currently available,” she said.
